we'll be venturing South this weekend. makes a change to go 'somewhere new'. maybe others' should try it! bit of Northern. bit of early Motown, bit of RnB ( i like to call it early soul ). There will be mods, Skinheads, 'Souies' , all dancin and all havin a good time. We've stayed home on many weekends because of the sheer number of events on in the region (FAR too many). yes we love the oldies scene, but we also tire of hearing the same records week in week out. . if you're tired of the same old thing. try something different, we do! p.s. It may help if some DJ's show a ittle enthusiasm whilst playing tunes. i've seen more life in a tamps vest.

I dont know either and i dont know what they fetch, ne. ver seen one before. thats what i found interesting

very interesting,, gone way over my budget now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350488083720?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

instrumentals ? BILLY'S BAG !

yep..... always full, always hot. as an infrequent visitor to station rd, the musical memories for me (from upstairs) are: Towanda Barnes - you dont mean it, Spencer Davis group, Otis smith, The O'jays - I love music, Linda Jones- just cant live my life. I loved M's . I was never a 'night person' , i just couldnt stay awake after 4am. I'd get a swift nudge off a mate letting me know a fave was on, suddenly i was goin for it like i'd had a shot of adrenalin. awesome place

i gotta agree

I know someone who had a belt with the LED thingy on that read "third window from the right" https://www.beltbucklesgalore.co.uk/led-belt-buckles.html

oh yes. The Present - shockin' . as bad as The Cherry people

why is Interplay welcomed at a 'soul' night, but Esperanto is frowned upon ? as far as im concerned, they're both as bad as the other. neither are remotely related to R n B/Soul in any form, yet Derek & Ray always fill a dancefloor, yet i darent spin The Grand Piano company for fear of a lynch mob! strange world we live in

I dislike the manufactured stuff: solid ground, hip teens, etc. dancers love em, but i cant get my head around em! not many i dont like, i think its more to do with a tune being overplayed ie: I walked away ....... gets right on my nerves

very sad, talent all the way. i'll post one of my faves (along with Mr Creator)

too right Pete, get what ya can for em

strange the Yvonne Baker is commanding that price when you can get a bonafide UK London for around a tenner

"twatted him"

whats the deal with this label? i've seen various tunes over the yrs: Bobby Diamond, Vibrations, Poppies etc. is it a legit pressing or a dreaded 'boot' ?

just tried to find the auction but it seems to have gone. what was the final selling price? I saw a bootleg of this tune fetched 50 odd quid. nice one Tone, keep searchin mate.

The Tymes - Here she comes

now thats some play list ...

Rita & the Tiaras on Destiny is ? a: legitimate b: Bootleg I have no idea, hence the question

Nice one Mark !! chuffed to bits for ya mate

ermmm. im lost now. mine is a demo, with the UV5134 in the deadwax, slightly raised edge, dull label colouring, but not really thin (the Carl Carlton of mine is the same thickness) .......... the problem lies ( me usually) with the 'trust' factor when buying. I bought mine as a def original, but these kind of things throw it all into turmoil ! I'm no expert, so ignorance/inexperience on my part has probably cost me a few bob. onward and upwards

now them's surreal moments I only have one..... Womack & Womack at Nottm Royal centre...... both sitting on the stage spouting a load of bollocks. possibly the worst gig i'd ever witnessed. or Edwin Starr in the early 80's at Yarmouth scooter rally . changed the lyrics to his tune 'smooth' " Smoooooooooth , the SCOOTER is smooth" a surreal (or cringeworthy) moment indeed

i'll take the Tymes please if still available

Tone, I have a mint 1972 Italian Polydor 'greatest hits' album with the following tracks on : sex machine make it funky (pt3) cold sweat call me superbad I got you/ i feel good money wont change you night train make it funky papas got a brand new bag soul power give it up, or turn it loose its a mans mans mans world hot pants out of sight let me know if interested
